I finished November with 13 ARCs left to be read. Is it just me, or does it feel like December lasted a really long time? Thanksgiving feels like forever ago, and while our Chanukah family party was only two weeks ago, it also seems like it was a […]
November went by really quickly, but the highlight was definitely getting together with my family and having a great meal and an even better time with the people I really care about last week. I’ve got a lot of things to be grateful for, and it was nice […]
I finished October with 10 ARCs left to be read. November feels like it just started, and it’s already over. I tried my best to stay on top of ARCs, but it feels like no matter how many ARCs I read, I got approved for more than I […]
I finished September with 14 ARCs left to be read. October, or ARCtober, as I like to think of it, was a smashing success. I’ve continued to reduce how many books I’ve requested, while reading as many ARCs as I could. In fact, I managed to halve my […]

I finished April with 30 ARCs left to be read. In May, I got approved for 10 new ARCs, bringing my total to 40. It got out of control, and I started feeling super stressed about it. So instead of getting overwhelmed, I devoted some serious time to […]
I finished March with 21 ARCs left to be read. In April, I got approved for a whopping 18 new ARCs! Despite focusing heavily on reading ARCs this month, I naturally fell a little behind my intended schedule of reviewing books the month before they’re published. I managed […]
I finished January with 18 ARCs left to be read. In February, I got approved for 11 new ARCs, and I can’t wait to read them all! Fortunately, I got a bunch of ARCs that I’m super thrilled about. I’ve been mindful of the due dates, and have […]
